Stickeen (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) 
The Story of a Dog

This heartwarming and hair-raising ‘icy-storm story, ‘ published in 1909, recounts Muir’s Alaskan adventures in 1880 with his little black dog named Stickeen—an animal that Muir initially views with scorn but comes to regard with the greatest affection following a near-death experience on a frozen glacier.
